The nature of the win highlighted the confidence of the squad as Spurs stretched their run to nine wins and a draw in their last 10 matches in the Premier League.

"We all know what we can do," Adebayor told the Spurs website. "You could see when they scored that no-one panicked, we told ourselves to keep going, to keep the belief that we could come back and win.

"Even going behind didn't affect us because we’ve got the capacity to come back and win the game and that’s what we did.

"It’s always good to show team spirit, character and personality. This win said a lot of things.

"I think even if we’re 1-0, 2-0 down, we could come back and win because we have the ability and belief to come back.

"To do it in an away game is good for us. At home, we can do it, we know that, but to do it away, all I can say is congratulations to the team."
